The origin of _initrddir

Hi,

Just a quick question : I've seen %{_initrddir} used here and there in order
to abstract /etc/rc.d/init.d (or /etc/init.d), and wondered why it was named
that way, is IMHO it's quite confusing wrt the Linux kernel's initial ramdisk
which "exposes" itself in various ways, like /initrd's presence, the initrd
files in /boot and the grub/lilo lines...

Did the person who introduced _initrddir just mix them up, make a typo or
something? It would make much more sense to me if it was _initddir or
_rcdinitddir (although that one misses the point) or _servicedir or...

Just wondering.

Matthias
